I bought that from the Killboy store in Deals Gap a couple years ago. The lady at the counter said it was actually a problem on certain highways with those constantly getting stolen. I told her I'm from Canada and weed is legal and we can grow it ourselves and it's everywhere. And she was like, weed grows in igloos?
My floor in the garage is way too uneven to even consider those kind of tiles. But at least I (mainly wife) started clearing the garage and making some space....hell maybe I'll be able to fit a car in there eventually.
Setup ski tuning bench again. Scraped storage wax off and polished four pairs of skiis. Waxed and tuned two more pairs. Setup bindings for growing kids. Good enough for now, will do the rest as the snow improves.

No. The Xc we have are waxless. We dont care enough to wax for the conditions the day we want to go out (and my wife probably would never do it). No wax beats bad wax.
Kids have their old skis plus new to them skis that are longer. Start them on the smaller stuff and if they are doing well, move them to the longer ones. My wife has one pair. I have mediocre skiis 20 years old to wear while teaching the kids and SL, GS, Super G for when I get to ski and have fun. The super G skis dont work where I normally ski. Hill isnt big enough. At blue they are a lot of fun (as long as you and the conditions are happy carving, sliding them is bleeping terrible). There are snowboards too that we used before kids. They get used occasionally now.
Yearly tuneups were starting to become a line item on the budget so invested in equipment and supplies to do it myself. Now I can can touch mine up after every day out. Kids/wife get done a few times a year.
Mine are not exactly modern probably 10 or 15 years old. ~202 parabolic, ~50m radius (bought used, info hard to find fischer RC4 World Cup DH). So much fun if conditions let them run. Lean over and hang on. Need to run bindings higher as edge pressure can blow bindings set at knee saving levels.
Ha! Not for me it seems. I'm looking at bikes every day and can't decide on what to buy and am flip flopping between all kinds of models and years.
I will say that my wife said she likes the new Moto Guzzi V100, but I think that might not be out for a year or so. But I've also been looking at older Radian's, Nighthawks, VMax's, VFR's, ZRX's, Z1000's, FZ1's and Speed Triples.
If you're going for a vintage ride, approach the purchase as you would a late model bike, somethjng youd like to ride - otherwise it will be a garage queen.
I thought it would be cool to own a Goldwing, so I bought a nice GL1500. Hated it, reminded me of driving my dad' s '89 Town Car. I dumped it and picked up a GL1000, an early naked that rides like an old UJM. Fun to ride and dependable enough for traveling.
I've installed barkbusters on a couple bikes (KLR & KLX) but neither set was specifically for the bike I had. Both times it was a nightmare trying to get everything in place and still have functioning clutch and brake levers. I'm guessing the right set makes it easier.
On the upside if you get them installed with the plastic guards your hands stay much warmer when it's cool.

I'm likely going to have to relocate the brake line, and because the clutch cable has a 90 degree bend at the lever it's a PITA.
Yes, that's why I got them - too cheap for hot grips.

Hoping to do the mirror extenders which finally came from China....several months wait but cheap and fitment seems okay. There is a blind spot right behind me I don't like. Might just put on one.
Well that was a bit more of a chore than expected due to the windscreen but I now have a better view of.....
My topcase.
The extender raised it up and out. I think tho it's easier to see above and below than my shoulder
I might consider bar end mirror for the other side. Anyone suggest a size?
My riding buddy bought a new 22 KTM 300XC TPI this year. It has 8hrs on it and has never ran right. Been back at the dealer 3 times to replace various sensors and stuff trying to find the problem. Dealership says there’s an issue but they can’t find it. Yesterday he sent me photos of the new high-compression head, a couple new sensors, air screw mod, and half a dozen other things he’s ordered or modded in an attempt to get it to run right.
I sent him a photo of the new spark plug I’m putting in mine which is the extent of the work my 300XC needed (thank god for simple carbed bikes).
Hopefully you don't experience the hardship I went through when trying to remove the coil pack boot lol.
Do you have a torque wrench to use when installing the new spark plugs?
I looked for one but all the good small ones were the high end electronic ones...tried a beam type torque wrench from princess auto and it confused the hell out of me.
Ended up tightening by hand for a turn and a half - sufficient enough to seal the crush washer based on what I read somewhere on here.
FWIW - I picked up this tool from Fortnine to bleed the brakes:
